A simple registry tweak is enough for WU to show the latest POSReady
updates on Windows XP. This method has been tested and works on any XP
build.
Add the following registry keys (INF Format):
HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WindowsEm bedded\ProductVersion",
"FeaturePackVersion",0x00000000,"SP3"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\WEPOS","Installed",0x10001,0
HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\WES","Installed",0x10001,0
HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\POSReady","Installed",0x10001 ,1
Or use notepad to copy the following and save as .reg file and run it:
==========
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\WindowsEmbedded\Pr
oductVersion]
"FeaturePackVersion"="SP3"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\WEPOS]
"Installed"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\WES]
"Installed"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001
===========
Restart your computer, and make sure WindozeUpdate service is running.
You will see there are updates for you to install! And your XP PC will
continue to recieve MS patches until the year 2019.
This is for 32-bit XP. There is a different method for 64-bit version
of XP (by spoofing Windows 2003 server).

You did not post a URL to download it.
There isn't anything to download: if you read what he said, there are
only four registry keys to be created/altered, but if you don't want to
do that, he made it as a .reg file: you copy the bits _of his post_
between the === lines into NotePad, then save the result as a .reg file,
then run it. (On your head be it though!) [Use his original post - or,
if you take the text from this one, remove all the ""s.]
